This is another problem with teleportation. Sure, we could transfer the physical body, but will the transfered brain have the same thoughts, memories etc. as the one before the teleport?

I guess that if we wanted to achieve this, we would have to first find a way to digitalize our consciousness, send the data to the place where we would teleport and then let it be un-digitalized and put back into our body.


All in all it looks to me as is teleportation is something that if we get it to work, by that time, any of us on this forum won't be seeing it

Ignoring the whole destroy one body make another theme the idea of teleportation isn't at all possible with the current model of physics that we know.

It's impossible for anything that contains mass to reach the speed of light, this is due to mass increasing as speed increases (only noticeable once you achieve 10% of the speed of light) so to accelerate to the speed of light mass would increase to infinity.

This ain't really discussion material, the science behind it is impossible so unless we're completely wrong about physics teleportation is not possible.

If we made an exact copy of the body, the electrical signals of the brain would remain the same between the two bodies so the consciousness wouldn't have to be transported separately.

This is true, however it IS theoretically possible to travel from point A to point C without going through point B via wormholes

This is a common diagram used to describe how it works:



As you can see it bypasses the whole not going faster than light problem by just taking a shortcut through space/time

Obviously this is all just theory and has never actually been done due to the complications of finding/creating said wormhole as well as keeping it open.

Also I believe this is my first post in a discussion thread so apologies if I messed something up
I do some videos
Feel free to PM me for any video-related questions

Just gonna comment on this, our thoughts, memories, and stuff are all stored in the nerve connections in the brain iirc, so they are still a part of our physical body.

If a time machine were to ever be invented, we would already have it. Unless parallel universes are a thing, of course.

Yes, I completely flopped on that one. If we were to 100% accurately remake the body in a different location, everything would stay the same.


Time machines are a bit of a different can of worms, but even if there werent parallel universes, what leads you to believe that we would have time machines. Even if we made them in the future, we might deem that too dangerous to actually be used, seeing as we could screw up some stuff in the past. Eg. The butterfly effect.
